Staff wears pink to support Houston teacher battling cancer

Houston second grade teacher Terisa Ward is pictured with her students, who wore special T-shirts in her honor after she completed radiation treatments for cancer.

Staff members in the Houston School District recently wore pink to support second grade teacher Terisa Ward, who recently completed radiation treatments for cancer.

Terina Hayes provided shirts for Ward’s students that read, “Mrs. Ward. 2nd to None.” The shirts include each child’s hand-written name.

“The significance of wearing pink is that we all support finding a want a cure for cancer,” said LeAnn Edington, elementary principal. “It becomes very personal when it is one of our own family members or elementary family. The whole staff –– men and women –– wore pink in support of our elementary family member, Mrs. Ward.”

Wearing pink in honor of Mrs. Ward seems like such a simple gesture. However, when someone you know has cancer…it is personal. Even writing this blog brings tears to my eyes. We wear pink to celebrate the courage, hope and faith that Mrs.Ward has shown during this fight. We wear pink to show her that we are fighting right along side her. We wear pink because we love her dearly and know that this is the hardest thing she has ever done. A simple gesture…maybe? But, to us, it represents so much more. Keep fighting Terisa! We love you!!!
